Summary

Todd acts as solo host today as Carl, clad in the latest fashions from J.Crew (thanks to his wife), shifts to the other side of the table to discuss John Owen’s book for which he recently wrote the foreword, The Doctrine of Justification by Faith. Owen’s classic work presents one of the most rigorous defenses of the Reformed doctrine of justification. While technical and challenging, Carl argues that it is well worth reading and offers suggestions for those new to Owen. Thank you Reformation Heritage Books for providing giveaway copies of The Doctrine of Justification by Faith by John Owen, with an introduction by Carl Trueman, and congratulations to our winners: Mark J. from Stanfield, NC, Jeffrey T. from Haltom City, TX, and Jordan H. from Roanoke, VA! Show Notes: The Doctrine of Justification by Faith: https://reformedresources.org/the-doctrine-of-justification-by-faith-paperback/ For those new to John Owen, Carl recommends the following books: Knowing God: https://reformedresources.org/knowing-god-paperback/ https://reformedresources.org/the-mortification-of-sin-dealing-with-sin-in-your-life-paperback/ https://reformedresources.org/the-glory-of-christ-paperback/ https://reformedresources.org/gospel-ministry-paperback/ https://reformedresources.org/gospel-life-paperback/ Banner of Truth Puritan Paperbacks: https://banneroftruth.org/us/store/christian-living/puritan-paperback-series/

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman and Todd Pruitt, a podcast of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

0:31.6	Thank you. You are listening to Mortification of Spin. My name is Todd Pruitt. I'm the pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in the
0:55.6	Shenandoah Valley, Harrisonburg, Virginia, a wonderful church. And if you ever find yourself
1:00.8	driving north or south along Interstate I-81, and it happens to be a Sunday morning around
1:07.7	oh, 8.30 a.m. or 11.15 a.m. stop in worship with us. We'd love to meet you.
1:15.2	It's the best church in the state of Virginia and possibly all along the Mid-Atlantic Corridor. How about that for an
1:22.4	introduction? And then Carl Truman's with us also. But no, my friend Carl Truman, who is a professor at Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania.
1:32.1	My church knows Carl because not only has he spoken and preached at my church, I also just taught a Sunday school class, Carl, working through the DVD curriculum that you and Crossway worked together
1:48.0	to produce for your book, Strange New World. And you'll be pleased to know we had to have the
1:54.6	class in our sanctuary, Carl. So great was the what was the demand. I even had some high school seniors sitting in there. And so, um,
2:05.6	did they did. They did. I think it had more to do with me than you, but that's debatable. I will also say this.

2:36.6	did a conference down there with, with, with, Fred and Richard Harris's church.
2:42.2	Where I wore my famous rainbow sweater. You wore the rainbow sweater to lecture on LGBTQ issues.
2:49.4	And so, I do remember that. And there is, I mean, I think you're aware of this, although you stay away from social issues. I do remember that.
2:54.7	And there is, I mean, I think you're aware of this, although you stay away from social media.
3:02.2	I just want you to know there is a rather vigorous public discussion that goes on about some of your colorful fashion choices.
3:07.9	I won't get into all the details, but there's a lot of public speculation about that, Carl.
